Summary: Wonderful
Comment: This is a great book. It's fascinating, and I couldn't put it down. The story takes place in late 19th century England and Australia. The twist at the end is surprising and reminiscent of Agatha Christie's style. This is a book meant to be read on one of those nasty gray wet days with a cup of hot tea. It keeps you guessing right up to the end, and is definitely a classic.

Summary: Too much pride?
Comment: The first time I read this book was years ago. I recently re-read it and this time around I was not as impressed with it as the first time. It seems to me that there was very little or no love between the hero and heroine. Even when they revealed their love for each other it did not seem to be "real." The hero had a "huge ego." He was actually quite cruel to his wife. By gifting his ex-lover? with a beautiful opal he really hurt his wife. His explanation that it was because of his pride, did not seem to me to be a valid reason. That part was skimmed over and the heroine just accepted what he did. She needed to have more of a backbone to deal with an egotistical male.

Summary: Interesting but not as Intriguing
Comment: I am a great fan of VH and love the way she writes, but this one wasn't quite up to snuff. The plot was a little thin as well as the romance and suspense. I never really felt any love between the two characters. The opal line is getting a little old for me, but as it's still VH, it's still above average.
